Lauren and Jon's Celebrations at the Reservoir Pool Pavilion Wedding

Now, what I'm about to say comes from a biased source. It's biased because I was married at Celebrations at the Reservoir just like Lauren and Jon, but don't even worry about that. I just want to say that this wedding was perfect. Like, complete perfection. Not because of where it was, though where it was WAS perfect. It was perfect because these TWO and their families and friends are just some of the sweetest, most genuine people you will ever meet. Seriously.

This July wedding was HOT. One of the hottest weddings I've photographed. But not a soul complained about the heat or the sun because that just wasn't in anyone's nature! Everyone was just optimistic and so, so happy for this couple.

Celebrations is such a unique venue, and one of the things I love is their bonfires! Lauren and Jon arranged for everyone to have s'mores by the fire after the cake cutting. It was fun and low key. All the guests were able to relax and spend some time with the bride and groom which is so nice. I feel like dancing appeals to a small subset of (usually!) younger people and giving your guests some other options on things to do, like roasting marshmallows and playing lawn games is a nice way of making sure everyone is included.

Lauren, Jon, thank you so much for having me at your beautiful wedding! I appreciated all of your laughter, tears, and complete sincerity. I hope you love your photos! :)

Thank you to the incredible vendors who made this wedding happen without a hitch!

I love blogging. LOVE it. It's where I share my favorite images and my most personal stories. Blogging isn't for everyone, but I've been doing it for 15 years now, so I think it's safe to say the internet has become my diary. Enjoy the ridiculous run on sentences, overabundance of adjectives, and some pretty pictures too!
